Back in the 90’s I was out on a bombing mission with my boy Clip, and had been playing around with different names at the time. He had just seen the kung fu movie “Brave Archer” and suggested I try Brave that day. I did, liked the letters but not the name, so I figured I’d use it until I found something better. Here I am, over 20 years later, still using it!

I remember as a kid always noticing and being interested in graff. I remember seeing Wildstyle and other movies like Beat Street and trying to copy the styles but never thinking i would be a writer. For me it was never a conscious descision it just started from hitting tags around the neighborhood and evolved into my passion.

Not really sure but I guess I would describe it as classic graff with some of the traditional arrows and things but at the same time always trying to evolve my style and letters to be unique and my own.

In 1992, my boy Hype took me down to the famous TDK Wall in San Diego. I remember seeing pieces from some of the San Diego Kings such as Dyse, Persue, and Zodak. I remember being nervous and intimidated, but excited at the same time. It was some real toy shit, but from that point on I was hooked.

The scene in my city is pretty good. A lot of the old guys still staying active doing nice pieces, and a few youngsters coming up. The bombing scene isn’t like it was in the 90’s cuz San Diego being such a tourist destination the buff is strong, but still alot of dudes still getting up.

Of course the creativity part, but just as much the whole process and experience of goin to different places. Meeting and making new friends and the brotherhood with your crewmates is what I like best. What keeps me doing it is the feeling of accomplishment when done and the challenge of always getting bigger and better on the next one.

I would like to thank elrincondelasboquillas.com for the oppurtunity and the support. A big shout out to all my brothas in TCR and TVC, and of course to my beautiful wife and family for supporting me and putting up with me and this crazy lifestyle.
